If “wordpress.com” is showing up as a referrer on my blog, what does that mean?

It means another logged in member of WordPress.com clicked into your blog from their dashboard.

What if this has happened just today, over a 1000 times. My traffic has gone nuts today and I can’t figure out why because the only referrer is wordpress.com and the posts/pages do not reflect the hit counts. It’s extremely strange.

Have you been Freshly Pressed, perhaps?

First thing I thought, but I looked and can’t find it. How would I find that?

Also if you have another WordPress.com blog and have posted a link to it then the traffic could be coming in from that link.

Same thing is happening to me – not as extreme, but 53 visits from wordpress.com in the last 1 hour. Strange.

Nope. Not on fresh pressed, not from another blog I have, checked those states. I thought maybe some hotlink? Because, once again, it’s not showing up as clicks on posts or pages. So, I have no idea where traffic is landing. I even thought it was a featured theme blog, no go on that either. But it’s given me my best day ever just not like I would want it.

In my case, I had a super-popular post 2 days ago, but that wouldn’t explain why everything’s coming from the wordpress.com home page specifically.

I sadly think mine must be a bug because I don’t use tags – just categories. And I don’t have that many wordpress users who read directly from their dashboard.
